When Windmills Turn Into Giants: The Conundrum of Virtual Places

چکیده
While many papers may claim that virtual environments have much to gain from architectural and urban planning theory, few seem to specify in any verifiable or falsifiable way, how notions of place and interaction are best combined and developed for specific needs. The following is an attempt to summarize a theory of place for virtual environments and explain both the shortcomings and the advantages of this theory.

Giants On Deformed Backgrounds
We study giant graviton probes in the framework of the three–parameter deformation of the AdS5 × S background. We examine both the case when the brane expands in the deformed S̃ part of the geometry and the case when it blows up into AdS5. Performing a detailed analysis of small fluctuations around the giants, the configurations turn out to be stable. Our results hold even for the supersymmetric...

متن کاملThe association of windmills with conservation of pollinating insects and wild plants in homogeneous farmland of western Poland
Loss of suitable seminatural habitats and homogenization of crop types have led to the population decline of pollinating insects in farmland. As these insects support crop production, many practical efforts aim to sustain pollinator diversity which is especially challenging in intensively managed and homogeneous farmland. However, there are ongoing changes of the farmland toward its multifuncti...
